I read this on Slashdot and I thought it must be some sort of early April Fool's joke. Nope. It's right there on the front page at http://www.scifi.com - "Experience the brand evolution". The Sci Fi channel is changing it's name to "SyFy" - "to pull in a more 'mainstream' audience."
At least it will finally resolve the glaring incongruity of having Pro Wrestling on a Science Fiction TV channel.
The Slashdot article has more.

I think the issue is the programming, not what they call it.
If it has good shows, I don't care if they call it the Nosepicker Troll Channel.
Things always get screwed up when you add Marketing people.
